On this week's episode, we discuss how often you should really wash jeans and dispel lots of myths around the subject. REAL SIMPLE editors Leslie Corona, Muzam Agha, and Amy Maclin talk about putting denim in the freezer, the hop-like dance you do when wiggling into freshly-laundered skinnies, and why Amy’s jeans might be feeling “crunchy.” Then Leslie catches up with the main guest, Queer Eye icon and fashion expert, Carson Kressley, who shares his denim care tips. Home Edit founders, Clea Shearer and Joanna Teplin, give their two (laundry) cents as well. Then, at the end of the episode, textile scientist Rachel McQueen, Ph.D., from the University of Alberta sheds light on the jean-washing debacle.
